Hey /asp/, I'm starting my training for Pro Wrestling here next week and I'm wondering if you guys had any tips.
Also just any cool road stories or awesome spots you guys have done.

Etiquette. Etiquette. Etiquette. You can be forgiven a lot if you do the right things backstage.
On that note, learning to work safe and sell will earn you far more friends in the business than any amount of awesome moves.

What's some specific to wrestling etiquette? Like, of course I know to be polite and nice to people in general but are there special backstage unspoken rules?

There's a bunch.
Most of them are common sense (introduce yourself, shake hands, be respectful to the guys who are more experienced) but if your trainer is any good he'll smarten you up pretty early on.
If you're new, let the other guy call the spots. If you think of something, discuss it together beforehand. I believe that's why Bruiser Brody went nuts on Lex Luger; the new guy tried to lead the match without asking.

The story I've always heard is that Brody just fucking hated the way Luger was given a push without paying his dues and, well, went out there and acted like Brody.
But yes, generally you should let the experienced guy call the match. It can get a bit awkward if the new guy is a heel but it is what it is.
